The Lenovo ThinkSmart bar is a smart USB based audio external speaker with 
built in array microphones. There are two options for the ThinkSmart Bar. The 
first option supports MTR application as stand-alone system. The second 
option supports MTR application with two pieces of daisy chain-connected 
satellite microphones to cover a X-large room size and beyond with best 
capturing performance. This Sound bar system has USB-C connector and 
supports USB 2.0. This Sound bar will use a unique AC adaptor for the power 
source which is included in the bundle. Basic function of this Sound bar should 
be used with/for MTR application based on USB connection. However, user can 
access and use this Sound bar as a Bluetooth audio adaptor. In addition, this 
Sound bar has an analog 3.5mm jack to input sound signal but this function is 
only available without USB connection mode.
